My first snowy sighting in at least two years. A friend contacted me this afternoon about one near her house in the country. These owls breed in the Arctic and winter as far south as the northern US states.
I belong to an Alberta wildlife FB group and dozens are being sighted all over. Nice.
This female was perched atop a stack of old, round hay bales, looking for mice..and keeping an eye on me. She allowed me to get within about 20 meters. Was dull. It's about 12 minutes from the house, so I'll keep an eye out for her again...she might hang around or move along.
